What types of aquariums and tanks do you offer?

We offer a wide range of aquariums and tanks suitable for freshwater, tropical, marine, and coldwater setups. Our selection includes nano aquariums, large display tanks, Betta tanks, and specialised systems designed for long-term performance in UK homes.

Are your aquariums suitable for both beginners and experienced fishkeepers?

Yes, our catalogue includes setups ideal for beginners—easy to install and maintain—as well as advanced systems designed for experienced aquarists. Each product page includes detailed specifications to help you choose the right option.

How do I choose the right tank size for my fish?

Larger tanks are generally more stable and easier to maintain. When choosing a tank, consider the adult size of your fish, their swimming behaviour, compatibility, space availability, and access to electricity. When in doubt, choosing a larger tank is usually recommended.

What equipment do I need to set up a new aquarium?

Most aquariums require a tank and stand, a suitable filter, a heater for tropical setups, appropriate lighting, substrate, decor, water conditioner, and a water testing kit. Many aquariums come pre-packaged with the essential components included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bacopa australis from Australia?

No. Despite the name, it was originally discovered in southern Brazil; 'australis' simply means 'southern'.

How tall does it grow?

Stems typically reach around 10 to 30 cm in height and 2 to 4 cm in width.

Where should I place it in my aquarium?

It works well positioned between the foreground and background planting in a layout.

How do I propagate it?

Trim side shoots from established stems and plant them directly into the substrate.

What format is it supplied in?

It comes as a pack of five pots, ready to separate and plant into your tank.

A stem plant that can spread into a creeping, light green cushion of growth rather than staying strictly upright, Bacopa australis helps add colour and structure to the middle layers of a planted tank, with leaves taking on a reddish tint under good light.

Bacopa australis is a stem plant that, under the right conditions, spreads sideways into a creeping cushion of growth rather than staying strictly upright like many other stem plants. It was first discovered in southern Brazil, not Australia, despite what the name suggests.

Grown under decent light, it helps add colour variation to a planted tank, with leaves taking on a reddish tint rather than staying plain green throughout. This makes it suited to aquascapers looking to build structure and visual interest between the foreground and background planting in a layout.

You get a pack of five pots, ready to plant. It can be propagated by trimming side shoots from established stems and planting them straight into the substrate, so a single pot can be grown into further stock over time.

It isn't the most demanding plant to keep, but it does best with steady care and consistent light rather than being left entirely unattended.
